WWE News: Nia Jax Added to WrestleMania’s Raw Women’s Title Match
During this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw, Nia Jax was officially added to WrestleMania 33’s Raw Women’s Title match. Bayley will now defend her Raw Women’s Title against Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax in a Fatal 4-Way.
The Raw Women’s Title was previously scheduled to be defended in a triple threat match between Bayley, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks. However, Stephanie McMahon put Bayley in a one-on-one match against Nia Jax on this week’s Raw, with the stipulation being that if Jax won, she would be added to the title picture at WrestleMania. Jax wound up defeating Bayley, thus earning an opportunity to win the Raw Women’s Title at WrestleMania and making the match a Fatal 4-Way.
